two.1.4) Short description
This notice is seeking expressions of interest for the establishment of a Framework Agreement for Temporary Alternative Water Supplies (TAWS) related to: Clean Water Tankering, Bottled Water provision, Bottled Water Deployment and Warning Card Notices.
This framework agreement is envisaged to be the primary route for selecting suppliers for the delivery of the selected TAWS services for the duration of the agreement.
Any estimated quantities or values contained or referred to in this or other documentation are for guidance only and do not bind YWS to buy any specific quantities should the bidder be successful and enter into an Agreement.
Yorkshire Water has a Statutory obligation to provide Temporary Alternative Water Supplies when there is a disruption to the water network, outlined by the Drinking Water Inspectorate and the SEMD enforcement policy.
Interested Bidders will have the opportunity to express an interest in providing as many of the required services as they wish and Yorkshire Water will reserve the right to either award everything to one supplier under a managed service (Lot 1), or to multiple suppliers (Lots 2 to 5).
For the avoidance of doubt, suppliers DO NOT need to deliver services in all Lots to submit a response to this tender and Lots will be awarded at Yorkshire Water's discretion.
Procurement Process:
To express an interest in participating in the tender, please contact Christoffer Askgaard (Christoffer.Askgaard@yorkshirewater.co.uk) through email by 17:00 (GMT) on 12th January 2024.
Once a bidder expresses an interest, they will be shortlisted and an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) document pack will be shared with them, at a later date. This will include the ITQ document that must be completed by all bidders and submitted in line with the deadlines included within that pack, which will be after the deadline to express an interest, giving bidders enough time to complete the documents.
All clarifications should be submitted on Ariba and can also be emailed to Christoffer Askgaard (Christoffer.Askgaard@yorkshirewater.co.uk) by 17:00 (GMT) on 12th January 2024.
YWS will periodically consolidate clarifications that would be relevant to everyone and share the response to these with all bidders anonymously.
Following an assessment of responses received for the ITQ, successful suppliers will be invited to participate in the ITT. This is planned for March 2024 but is subject to change based on YWS discretion.
